Letter: Democrats need to agree with Republicans to end the shutdown

All this writing, the mass media is mostly blaming the Republicans for the government shutdown. However, if the Democrats would agree with Republicans to fund everything but Obamacare, the shutdown would end. That is the one sticking point, Obamacare.

Hopefully, both sides could confer and keep what's good in the bill and discard what is not.

Most would agree some provision should be made for pre-existing conditions and would agree that there is too much federal involvement and control in our personal healthcare in this bill. Mediacare patients are now having a hard time finding health care, since providers are not being adequately paid for their services. To make matters worse, money should not be taken from Mediacare providers to help fund Obamacare.
